President Donald Trump is threatening to use the powers of his office to force the Department of Justice to turn over unredacted documents to Congress, he announced in a Wednesday tweet.

Trump’s tweet is likely in reference to demands from Congressmen Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan who are demanding an un-redacted version of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s memo detailing the scope of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

The pair of lawmakers also are demanding to learn the role of Attorney General Jeff Sessions in authorizing a raid on Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen. Jordan and Meadows have noted that articles of impeachment may be drafted against Rosenstein if he does not comply.
